PG Correspondence Course Aims At Broadening Views By CLARK MUNROE Some men with ideas of real Value find themselves handicapped in business because they are all but inarticulate. The boss passes them over in favor of less brainy but more expressive individuals. A&M’s post-graduate correspon dence course which leads to a •bachelor of philosophy degree will help young professional men mar shal their arguments and teach them how to say them effectively. Technicians will always be slaves to the word-artists until the tech nicians learn how to handle peo ple, how to think logically outside their own narrow fields, how to talk and how to live. However good one may be at those things now, he can be better with prac tice. Here is how to get into the pro gram: After graduation, or a few days before, you register with the Post Graduate School and are sent a complete outline for the course you want to take. A book list is included. For each lesson there are questions to be answered and sent in to be grad ed. ne lesson a week is the nor mal load. At this rate you complete nine credit hours each year, which means you get your Ph.B. in about four years. But four years is not the time limit. You may obtain up to 12 hours toward your Ph.B. for work done in residence, but not over six hours may be transferred from another school. These hours must not have been used for a previous degree, must deal with humanities and must have been taken at junior or senior level. After all the lessons have been ‘Do You Know A&M?’ Tear out this blank and keep it handy for the entire week. As each picture is printed in The Battalion, write your guess in the appropriate space. Turn in this form to The Batt office, 201 Goodwin by 12 noon, Sunday. Wed. Thur.

This is to protect the value of your de gree. Among the courses offered is geography. Environmental factors such as space relationships, sur face features, natural resources, water bodies and atmospheric con ditions are studied as the basic foundations of national power. Agriculture and mineral supplies are vital to our industries, and our industrialists and agricultur ists must know how they fit into the pattern and their relationships with other members. Already available is a World Survey course. A course in South American geography is also being planned and prepared to inform the PG students about that southern continent which will increasingly be leagued with American commerce. The economics department of the school has prepared courses dealing with labor problems, inter national economics, analysis of the South and a course dealing with agriculture’s place in our economy. Economics is not a study of the way to run a business. It is con cerned with broader problems re lated to the way in which your business deals with your neighbor’s business. Another article on the Post graduate correspondence studies will appear in a forthcoming issue of The Battalion.

The music room now has $450 worth of records, which range from the Bach symphonies to Negro spirituals. For the purchase of additional records, the library has set aside a sum of $900. The Electrical Engineering De partment has termed the record player used in the music room the best one of its kind available on the market today.
